The War Boys

Three young Texans spend their nights patrolling the Mexican border to earn a $10 bounty for every Mexican they catch crossing it. Every night they swap boasts and banter. But on this evening, they each enter confessional mode, seeking a repeat performance of the night before, and they reveal themselves as deeply damaged. "... a violent and often beautifully written story about three young Texan men who have hired themselves out to catch 'wetbacks' ..." -Carol Burbank, Chicago Reader "THE WAR BOYS, a vital three hander about the informal policing of the Mexican border in Texas by racially screwed-up, sadistic vigilantes." -James Christopher, Time Out "Naomi Wallace is a young American writer whose first play, THE WAR BOYS, was an authoritative appropriation of male experience." -The Observer Review (review of SLAUGHTER CITY) "the much acclaimed WAR BOYS ..." -Lyn Bardner, The Guardian (review of IN THE HEART OF AMERICA)
